Abstract

Currently, the approximate incidence of people with Down syndrome worldwide is between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 1,100 newborns, with their respective health problems in general. For this reason, and due to the lack of knowledge about this relationship, this study on early care in the integral development of people belonging to the infant population with Down syndrome is carried out.  For this purpose, a systematic review of the existing literature in the databases “Web of Science”, “Scopus”, “Science Direct” and “PsycInfo” has been carried out, following the PRISMA 2020 statement and dealing with scientific knowledge from 2015 until the declaration of the state of emergency due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, with a total of 6 articles. The results, although presenting differences in the study variables, expressed the various relevant aspects about such relationship and, in particular, the benefits in their motor, cognitive, socioemotional, etc. functions and skills are highlighted. In addition, we discuss the results found in the systematic review and conclude with the need to promote scientific interest. Nowadays, it is necessary to promote research that includes all the ages that make up early care (0 - 6 years) and with several research variables such as emotional and behavioral, which allow a complete analysis of the integral development of the child with Down Syndrome.
